 If man dies unsaved, he will wallow in eternities= garbage dump forever.

 

  II. Hell will be a place of unsatisfied desires.

 

   A.  The lustful cravings of the damned will not be satisfied. Rev. 22:11, AHe that is unjust, let  him   be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.@

If we do not obey the gospel, we will undergo what Paul declares in II Thess. 1:7-9, AAnd to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,  In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;@

 

Conclusion:

 

The torments of hell are so terrible that God does not want a single soul to go there.

A Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?@  Ezek 33:11.

 

II Pet. 3:9, AThe Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us‑ward, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.@

 

Want you become a Christian tonight like the Corinthians? A And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.@    Acts 18:8.
